Intramedullary dermoid in a low lying conus tethered by a fatty filum - embryological implications

N Muthukumar et al. Acta Neurochir (Wien). 2007 Nov.

Abstract

Intramedullary dermoids arising within the conus medullaris are rare. We report a rare association of an intramedullary dermoid cyst located in a low lying conus tethered by a thickened, fatty filum terminale and discuss the embryological implications of this association.
